I am headed to Mediation for a Divorce matter, No Children just fighting over money owed and Property.
She moved out in November of 07 and left me with All Bills and Utilities along with a few other Bill’s such as Cell Phone (Plan signed together) and some other Things…I have had to do house repair’s to either sell or rent the house as it was a fixer–upper and my realator suggested I fix a few Things in order to sell it or in order to rent it (Duplex)….
So what should she be responsiable for or What IS she reponsiable for in the state of Michigan, Kent County…Where can I find some rules? or who can advise me besides my Lawyer who is not being of any help 🙁
Thank you
Hall

This page explains property distribution in Michigan. Neither party is entitled to more than the other and neither party is to assume more debt than the other. She is legally responsible for one half of the debts and the expenses spent fixing up the duplex. Make sure your lawyer does his job and if he isn’t doing his job get another lawyer is right.
Good Luck
